We notice that the prohibition
lists of Michigan joined in urging
a high license law in preference to
out-and-out prohibition as the
more practicable of the two and
their Legislature has passed such
a law, fixing the license at $500
in towns of less than 10000 popu-
lation anu 81 900 in towns Of 10,-

We notice that the News is mis-
taken. Michigan Prohibitionists
are a sensible folk, as they are the
world over, and will have none of
the high license folly. Michigan
has submitted an absolute Prohi-
bition Amendment, which will be
ratified by the people on April 4th.

Tie FIelus
1. was q big fig hit and grand
victory, and no mistake.
Senator Dawson went into tho
fight a local .optionist, and after
battling bravely for the Submits
sion of the Amendment came out
a full fledged Prohibitionist.
Senator Morris was stalwart
Prohibitionist first last and all the
time.
Mr.. Mckinney of Richie was at
the front in every skirmish and
stood bravely by the Home flag in
every onset
The eleven Republican Senators
stood solidly to the work of batter
ing down the enemy's works and
compelling the Submission of the
Amendment. Only one Republic
can Senator was found in the sa-
loon fort, and he did get pelted
and battered most numerically.
Senator Carr was the most i'm
pulsive fighter on the Home side.
He was ready at any call to go out
and fight all liquordom, lone and
single-handed.
Mr.. Jones and Judge Hoke, of
Preston, fought valiantly and will
join Senator Dawson in helping to
swell old Preston's majority for the
Amendment to 1000.
If any had occasion to doubt
Senator Furbee before the battle,
they need doubt no more. He
stood boldly for the clean cut
Amendment, and blouse Bill 49,"
through every trial and conflict.
Among the fearless and aggres-
sive leaders in the House who were
ready in every onset to bear the
Home flag into the enemy's lines,
were Messrs. Gorrell of Peasants,
McWhorter and Toler, of Kanaw-
ha, Kidd of Gilm or, Henseley of
Mason, Shaw of Barbour, Thayer
Of Taylor, Young of Upshur, Rey-
nolds of Mercer, Peck of Nicholas,
Chambers of Lincoln, Kinsey Of
Marion-but why enumerate fur
Their? There were more than two
ecore of them, brave and eager to
bear the flag wherever called, or
follow wherever it led.
Gen. Duval was as brave to face
the Beer Batteries OF Wheeling az
he was before the red -mouthed
cannon of the war. But why
shouldn't he be brave, with such
an aid and helper as Mrs. Duva4
ever at his side.
In answer to the demand of the
liquor men for notice and time to
get out of the business, Col. Snyder,
of Monongalia, boldly challenged
them to see the handwriting on
the wall, for 10, these years past.
Senator Bond and Mr.. woodward
had the honor of faithfully repre-.
senting the Homes of Wood coun-
ty, while Messrs. Chancellor and
Kellar chose to represent the sa-
looms by voting against the

They Acted Wisely.

The Prohibition Amendment
has at last been submitted to the
people by the w. Va. Legislature,
and will be voted upon at the gen.
eral election in 1888. In thus ac-
ceding to the popular demand to
have this question decided at the
polls, our Legislators have acted
wisely.-Monroe Watchman, Dem.

1t Succeeded.


1t will be remem bered that the
proposed Prohibition Amendment
was defeated in the Senate by one
vote, as was announced last week.
The friends of the bill, finding
themselves defeated, und ertook a
little bulldozIng by introducing a
bill to prohibit the manufacture,
sale &c, in fact just what the
amendment would accomplish, if
adopted.
This law might be adopted by
the Legislature without going be-
fore the people, and the bill was used
to influence members in favor of
the amendment. 1t succeeded
Oarksborg Ne,os, Dem.
What the Parties will DO.
We think that the Legislature
acted wisely in submitting the pre-
posed amendment to vote.
Whether majority of the voters
of the State desire absolute prohi-
bition is quite another question,
that can only be determined by the
proposed vote. Much can and will
be said for and against it. 1t is a
question that every man must set
tie for himself and ought not to be
made political issue, but of that
we have little hopes. The Third
Party Prob ibitionists will most
likely pursue an independent, ag-
gressive policy, thus forcing the
Democratic party to declare against
sumptuary laws, as in the Nation
al platform of 1884, and the Repub-
lican party will proably leave it
where it belongs, with the masses.
The Prohibitionists will in that
event declare war on both the old
parties. Time alone will develop
the policies OF the parties.-Grat-
tom Eagle. Rep.

Now What Will the People
DO?

The question OF the liquor traffic
is now before the people. What will
be done with it rests with them.
The legislature has done its duty
in submitting it. Now what will
the people do?
The secular arm has been out.
stretched to save the drunkard and
his family from want and misery,
and to put a stop to the greatest
curse that afflicts our land. What
will the spiritual arm do with this
vital question 1t is to be hoped,
and we have no fears but it will be
used with all its power to bring
voters to the polls to crush out
this giant evil. We cannot see
why ministers of the gospel can
refrain from preaching Prohibition
from every pulpit in the State.
We cannot see why protested Christ
ians will vote against it. We
know of many who drink intoxica-
ting liquors to excess, who will
vote for it. The prospect is bright
for wiping out this national curse.

We are glad that the Legisla-
ture has submitted the matter and
taken it out of politics, where it
never should have been. The peo-
pie can and will decide for them
selves as to their duty in the mat
ter, and they have plenty of time
to weigh and consider the qeustion
in all its bearings. No doubt the
voters of Wetzel will jump at no
conclusions, but will seek informa-

Millionaire Republican Senator'S.

The United States Senate is now
nearly evenly divided between the two
parties. Twelve years ago it contained
only nineteen Democrats. out of seven
ty-four members. In recent Senatorial
elections the Republicans sent to the
Senate Stanford. of California; Allison.
of Iowa: Sabin. of Minnesota: Jones. of
Nevada: Mitchell. of Oregon: Don Cam
eron. of Pennsylvania. and Spooner. of
Wisconsin. all of whom hold their seats
till 1891.
In this years Senatorial elections the
Republicans add TO the number Far
well. of Illinois: Stockbridge. of Mich
igan; Stewart. Of Nevada, and Quay.
of Pennsylvania. Is there a single one
of all these who is distinguished for
craftsmanship. for oratorY, for expert
ence in national affairs Is there one
who would be made a United States
Senator if he did not possess large
wealth or was not a creature of cor

Just as surely as thu Republican
power in the Senate has declined in the
past it will continue to decline IN the

There may be yet more grief in store
for the Blainiacs. A new figure looms
up whom Blaine thought ae had left
hors de combat. It is ne less person
than Roscoe Conklin9. who Is still not
by any means an old man That he Is
power in the party nobody denies.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record has been looking the matter no.
He saws:

men to his party any day. may safely aspire 70
the Senate as New York's only great RepuF-
lcan leader and not unreasonably ne may
have eye upon the Presidency.
COnkling would naturally take the
place OF Logan Us stalwart leader. He
will be even more formidable. for he
has no recent quarrels to heal up as
Logan's courage had made him. Conk-
ing's quarrels were not so noble and
creditable as Logan's. but they were
not so recent. He is incomparably SUI
perior to Blaine in every manly trait.
He would not be driven to so many
personal explanations involving down
right falsehood. Still. he may have
learned to dislike politics. and he may
also have no aspirations higher than
the Senate. He might give the New
York Blaine henchmen some trouble on
that score Blaine can't afford to let
Conkling back into public life on any
terms or for any purpose. Preconceived
purposes and final acts do not always
correspond in magnitude.
Our advice to the unhappy storm
driven Blaine boomers is to keep \
weather eve on Conkling. His motives
may be the most innocent in the world.
But even then he may experience new
motives. Where power is ample and
nothing is lacking but a motive it is
safe to look out. Motives come with
strange suddenness and from strange
sources sometimes. 1t is a pity for the
Blaine people. Their distress is eX-
treme, and has led them TO do some
questionable things of late in order to
save their candidate at least until con-
vention time. They had long siege
trying TO get him nominated. and then
failed to get him elected, and any fur
Their disasters are cruel to the extent of
exciting sympathy even among bitter

WARNINGS IN DREAMS


The Almost Inyariable- Groundlessness OF
All Kinds of Presentiments..
Many people still believe that they
receive warnings In dreams, and it is
impossible to rebuff the arguments for
such belief, but we may confidently
assert that any general reliance on the
confessed and contradictory indications
of dreams would involve the most in
consistent vagaries of conduct, wholly
unworthy OF a rational being. Our
reason and our dreams are often so
hopelessIy at variance that, to desert
the former for the latter, would be
equivalent to- relinquishing the bright
shining OF the sun in order to pursue
a treacherous willie the-wisp. The
writer once had occasion to en-
gage a passage for long sea voy-
age. and the only vessel available at the
desired time was a steamer which had
been a great Eavorite in her day, but
was then so old that doubts were enter
tanned regarding her seaworthlness. In
sfdte of warnings on this point he en-
gagged his berth. and on that very night
he had an intensively vivid dream OF
ship wreck and drowning at sea- I'M
deferred. however, he set sail without
serious misgiving and had most
agreeable and prosperous voyage. In
this case the dream was evidently no
supernatural warning. but rather. the
result of thu effect produced upon the
imagination by the hints thrown ont
regarding the vessels supposed unsea-
rx,r,rffv character. Presentiments of all
kinds are almost invariably grounds
less. and when on rare occasions pre-
sentiment is verified by the result the
explanation is the very simple and OBJ
vious one that in this instance our fssars
correctly forecasted the future. MD
